School heterogeneity, human capital accumulation, and standards

Article Abstract:

A model was created in order to analyze the relationship between two factors in the US school system, namely, the low average productivity of high school graduates who join the labor market and the diversity in quality of schools across the nation. It is argued that wages of high school graduates are dependent on the variability in school quality, suggesting that uniform standards can do much to raise wages significantly.
